This also causes environmental problems from cooking wood and coal. Not to
mention where they got the wood from? Which forest? Was it sustainable? You
just have to be careful not to destroy animals homes indirectly. And damage
the environment.

I always have fresh parsley and dill in the fridge, it’s the law. Also
garlic bulbs, spring garlic and spring onions, cumin, coriander seeds,
black pepper, chilli powder and paprika, turmeric and fresh ginger root or
powder. I’m from Southeastern Europe but the Middle-Eastern flavours appeal
to me a lot so I make sure I’ve got lots of spices in the kitchen. I love
heat and anything picante so I use actual hot peppers of any kind
frequently. Just be careful cause your rear end may object 😛
